Settings are necessary when you would like to monitor operation accumulated time only and
distribution ratio is not needed.
Settings are necessary only when air-conditioners include a 3-Way type unit.
Make settings even when no distribution is made, if you would like to control units as a bundle of
the group of tenants.
Settings are necessary only when the indoor unit has a local adapter (SHA-KL4UGB) and is set at
almighty.
Settings are necessary only for the indoor unit set at almighty.
Immediately before delivery, execute Clear accum.data to clear total data taken during test runs.
When clearing the test run data after storing it, make Cut-off ( Main 2 Sub 4 ) manually.
Make the settings when you would like to operate the unit by optional grouping.
When using the unit along with the system controller or ON/OFF-controller, the controller-side
control classification needs to be taken into consideration.
The system controller or ON/OFF-controller-side zone varies as varying central addresses from the
Intelligent Controller.
Settings are necessary only for local adapters (SHA-KL4UGB).
Settings are unnecessary for the simple distribution as they will be taken into consideration in
calculation only for the loaded distribution.
Always set the mode at NO (Normal).
Do not make any initialization imprudently as it may cause missing of all the set and cut-off data.
The system works only with the backup PC card inserted, which is separately available.
Always manually make the cut-off processing in advance to vary the method of distribution.
Although the touch panel is adjusted before factory shipment, calibrate deviations if any.
Do not restore any data imprudently as it may return them to their backed-up status.
Settings are necessary when you would like to control/monitor the unit via network.

6.6.3 Time zone totals and distribution


The Intelligent Controller provides functions for recording total operating time and calculating
distribution ratios for four time zones: All hours, Regular hours, Out of hours, and Special days.
When using these functions, be aware of the following points.
Margin of error in time zone operating totals
The intelligent controller acquires operating time data accumulated by individual indoor units via
communication adaptors. The Intelligent Controller itself has an internal communication adaptor
function.
When the Intelligent Controller requests data from a communication adaptor, the adaptor queries
indoor units for their operating time data, and forward it to the Intelligent Controller after all totals
have been calculated.
For this reason, there is a margin of error of up to several minutes that may arise in count totals
around the transitions from one time zone to another. For example, cases such as the following are
possible.
Case 1) Indoor units are stopped at the exact end of the Regular hours time zone (or
immediately before the end of the zone). For this reason, several minutes are
counted in the Out of hours total.
Case 2) Indoor units are operated for the same length of time before and after the transition
from Regular hours to Out of hours, but the totals for the two zones are not the
same.
Note about daily timer settings
For communications reasons, there is a slight delay before units can be stopped by a timer.
Therefore you should avoid setting timers that stop units exactly at the transition between two time
zones.
For example, if you simultaneously stop a large number of indoor units at the transition from
Regular hours to Out of hours, a certain period of time is required for the indoor units to actually
stop. This time is counted as Out of hours time.
If you need to set a timer to stop units before a time zone transition, you should avoid setting it
within 10 minutes of the transition. (This is only an approximately guideline, since results vary
depending on communications conditions.)
Communications errors and data totals
Data totals may not be accurate if communications errors occur in the Intelligent Controller, indoor
units, or communication adaptors.
For example, if a communications error occurs in the Regular hours time zone, and normal
communications are restored in the Out of hours time zone, all data received by the Intelligent
Controller will be counted in the Out of hours time zone.
Totals data received by the Intelligent Controller is counted in the time zone in which it is received.

6.9 System Configuration Changes


An alarm message like the following appears when a system configuration change (or the
possibility of a configuration change) is detected.
If the system continues to operate after its configuration has changed, distribution ratios and other
data will be totally inaccurate. For this reason, cut-off processing must be done with the system in
the state before the change. The following message is displayed to ask you to confirm the
processing.
Operation procedure for each case is as follows.

6.9.1 When a system configuration change detected


This alarm message is displayed in cases such as the following.
q Check system Configuration was made after removing
the outdoor and indoor units.
w Check system Configuration was made after starting the
unit and found that it was different from the previous one in
configuration.
* Configuration includes not only the number of units and
address but also indoor unit capacity, main/sub unit setting,
and presence/absence of an electric heater.
Here you can see the link system where the configuration has
been changed.

While this message is visible, no other operations can be performed except OK and Cancel .
Touch OK to perform cut-off processing with the system in the state before the change.
Touch Cancel if you do not need to perform cut-off processing.

Touch OK to check the new configuration.


If you select OK here, the current system configuration is
re-checked and the results are confirmed.
If you do not need to do this, select Cancel .
If the system has changed because of a mistake, return the system to its former state and then
touch Cancel . You should also touch Cancel here if you mistakenly selected Cancel in the
previous message, even though the system cut-off processing should have been done. This
returns you to the first alarm message, where you can perform cut-off processing.
While this message is visible, no other operations can be performed except OK and Cancel .

6.9.2 When system configuration may change
This alarm message is displayed in cases such as the
following.
q The following Detailed settings were made from a local
remote controller.
(for address, extension settings, indoor unit capacity, or
presence/abesnce of an electric heater)
w Only confirmation of Detailed setting was made from a
local remote controller.
e Automatic address setting was carried out for an indoor
or outdoor unit.
r An additional indoor or outdoor unit was installed.
* Configuration includes not only the number of units and
address but also indoor unit capacity, main/sub unit setting,
and presence/absence of an electric heater.

While this message is visible, no other operations can be performed except Do later. or
Do now. .
When touching Do later. , this window closes and other screen operations are made possible.
However, after a while the message will be displayed again.
Touch Do now. to confirm whether the configuration has been actually changed.
When a configuration change was detected as a result of configuration confirmation, cut-off
processing is automatically performed and the post-variation configuration is established. When
there is no change in configuration, the screen exits configuration confirmation processing.
For example, imprudently pressing Do now. while a communication error message is displayed
will result in an automatic cut-off processing to establish the current configuration. Therefore,
take full care to avoid such a mistake.
When establishing a configuration without making cut-off processing, press Do later. to once
close the screen and perform Check system Configuration using the 6-9 screen.
After this, proceed Perform cut-off? Cancel Confirm the current system configuration?
OK in accordance with 6.9.1. When a system configuration change detected.
When no operation has been made on this screen for twelve hours or more, cut-off and postvariation configuration fixing processing are automatically carried out.

10 Calculating air conditioner distribution


The Intelligent Controller calculates energy (electricity and gas) distribution ratios utilizing the
accumulated working time (T/S ON/OFF) or the capacity value of the indoor unit.
* T/S: Thermostat

10.1 Calculating simple distribution


Parameters as listed below are used to calculate simple distribution:
q RHHi: accumulated operation time for indoor unit i (High fan speed)
w RHi: accumulated operation time for indoor unit i (Medium fan speed)
e RLi: accumulated operation time for indoor unit i (Low fan speed)
r SHHi: T/S ON accumulated time for indoor unit i (High fan speed)
t SHi: T/S ON accumulated time for indoor unit i (Medium fan speed)
y SLi: T/S ON accumulated time for indoor unit i (Low fan speed)
u Pi: Capacity of indoor unit i (in kW)
i k: Weighing factor for power consumptions as T/S ON and OFF
o aHH: Weighing factor for High fan speed
a aH: Weighing factor for Medium fan speed
s aL: Weighing factor for Low fan speed
* Accumulated operation time = T/S ON accumulated time + T/S OFF accumulated time

Index of indoor unit i power/gas consumptions is calculated.


Here, TEi and TGi denotes the power and gas consumption indexes of the indoor unit i,
respectively.
When Object of power distribution calculation is T/S ON + OFF time:
The power consumption index is calculated using Accumulated operation time and T/S ON
accumulated time; the gas consumption index using T/S ON accumulated time
For GHP:
TEi = (RHHi x aHH + RHi x aH + RLi x aL) x Pi
Formula 1
TGi = (SHHi x aHH + SHi x aH + SLi x aL) x Pi
Formula 2
For PAC:
TEi = { (RHHi x aHH + RHi x aH + RLi x aL) /k +
(SHHi x aHH + SHi x aH + SLi x aL)} x Pi Formula 3
TGi = 0
When Object of power distribution calculation is T/S ON time:
Both the power and gas consumption indexes are calculated using T/S ON accumulated time.
For GHP:
TEi = (SHHi x aHH + SHi x aH + SLi x aL) x Pi
TGi = (SHHi x aHH + SHi x aH + SLi x aL) x Pi
For PAC:
TEi = (SHHi x aHH + SHi x aH + SLi x aL) x Pi
TGi = 0
Weighing by wind speed is not carried out for models with their speed set only as High or only as High and low.
Distribution ratios are not calculated when you have chosen not to perform distribution ratio calculations. (See 6.3.2 Setting the
date, cut-off date, and distribution ratio calculation method)

10 Calculating air conditioner distribution


Calculate electricity/gas usage index of entire distribution group
Let TOTALe be the electricity usage index of entire distribution group,
and let TOTALg be the gas usage index of entire distribution group.
Let m be the number of indoor units in the distribution group.
TOTALe = TE1 + TE2 + + TEm
TOTALg = TG1 + TG2 + + TGm
Calculate electricity/gas usage distribution ratio of indoor units
Let REi be the electricity usage distribution ratio,
and let RGi be the gas usage distribution ratio.
REi (%) = TEi / TOTALe 100
RGi (%) = TGi / TOTALg 100
Calculate electricity/gas usage distribution ratio of tenant j
Let NEj be the electricity usage distribution ratio of tenant j,
and let NGj be the gas usage distribution ratio of tenant j.
Let n be the number of indoor units of tenant j.
NEj (%) = RE1 + RE2 + + REn
NGj (%) = RG1 + RG2 + + RGn
Distribution ratios are rounded at the third decimal place and shown to the second decimal place.

12 Supplementary Information
Powering the system off
Always use the following procedure to power the Intelligent Controller off.
Touch the Power off button in the Other settings screen ( Main6 Sub9 ).
Touch the OK button in the message box which appears to ask if you want to exit the program.
Wait until a message appears to inform you that It is now safe to turn off the Intelligent Controller. ()
and then power the system off.
(*Several minutes may pass before this message appears.)
Air conditioner limitations
Some types of air conditioners are limited in the settings which they support.
For example, cooling-only air conditions cannot be set to heating.
Floor-type models typically support only high fan speeds.
Ceiling mounted models do not have flaps, and therefore cannot change the fan direction.
You should be aware of the limitations of the air conditioner models in your system.
For more information, contact your dealer or service provider.
Standby power (for simple distribution)
The Intelligent Controller performs distribution calculations on the basis of indoor unit operating time.
Therefore it does not count power consumed while under are stopped (on standby).
For example, if no units are operated over the course of a month, no standby power consumption is
distributed to any tenant. However if a unit is operated for even one minute, then all of the standby power
consumption is distributed to the corresponding tenant.
For loaded distribution, distribution is made with standing-by power added.
W Multi GHP outdoor unit data is displayed as Reference unit.
Because the reference unit changes depending on operating conditions, the data displayed by the
Intelligent Controller also changes.
Outdoor unit data is data such as number of operations and operating time.
Only an alarm code is displayed in the notification bar and alarm log display.
The content of an alarm can very for different models, even if the alarm code is the same. Consult the
documentation of the various models to determine the content of the alarm.
Because of data transmission delay, the totals and distribution data displayed by the Intelligent Controller
for different time zone (regular hours, out of hours, special days) may not be counted in a completely
accurate fashion.
For details, see 6.6.3 Time zone totals and distribution.
The Intelligent Controller does not support printing.
If you need to print totals and distribution data, please install the optional PC Card on a PC at your
location.
Filter cleaning signs and oil exchange signs are updated every 1 minutes.
Operating time totals and distribution data are updated every 18 minutes. Electric heater ON time is
updated once an hour.
Cut off processing for the previous day is performed every day for a few minutes after 12:00 AM.
The system will not respond to user input during this processing.

79

12 Supplementary Information
After the settings of an indoor unit are changed from the Intelligent Controller, the display may revert
temporarily to the former settings. This is more likely to occur with all-unit operations. The cause is
communications delay, not any malfunction in the system. If you wait a few minutes, the display will
show the correct information.
Errors occurred while operating during a thunder storm or because of electromagnetic interference.
Power the Intelligent Controller off and then on again. (Refer to Powering the system off stated on the
previous page)
As a rule, the Intelligent Controller should be powered off only in cases such as the above.
Correct management of air conditioning is not possible when the Intelligent Controller is powered off.
About distribution ratios
The formulas used by the Intelligent Controller to calculate air conditioning distribution ratios are only
approximations. They normally do not yield the same amounts that appear on bills from electric and gas
utilities.
Depending on operating conditions, there may be a margin of error between distribution ratios and actual
air conditioning amounts.
There may also be a small margin of error between the following, due to the rounding algorithms used in
distribution ratio calculations.
Distribution ratios of tenants in a group and 100.00%
Total of distribution ratios and Overall tenant distribution ratio
Total of distribution during regular hour, out of hours, and special days time zones and Total of all
hours time zones
The Intelligent Controller does not measure energy use directly. It calculates energy distribution ratio
based on the inferred load ratio of each indoor unit. The results of the calculations should be regarded as
approximations.
About operating time totals
Air conditioning distributions and air conditioner operating times are calculated only for periods in which
the Intelligent Controller is powered on and in which there are no communications errors between the
Intelligent Controller and the air conditioners.
Therefore, no totals are accumulated for times when the Intelligent Controller is powered off or in which
communications errors occur.
You should be aware that errors in distribution ratios will become larger if conditions like the above
continue for a longer period of time.
Setting the current date and time
The current date and time should be set on a regular basis, since the system clock can gain or lose up
to about two minutes per month.
Touch panel operations are not possible at the following times.
While the system is booting
During connection checks
Under cut-off processing
During PC Card access (backup, restore)
About passwords
Passwords should be recorded and saved in a safe place. They should never be disclosed to third
parties.
If you forget your password, contact your dealer or service provider.
Flickering on the screen
This may occur occasionally. It is due to data refreshing and is not a malfunction.

80

12 Supplementary Information
When only one centralized control unit is installed in a system without remote controller, if the centralized
control unit is damaged, the air conditioner(s) may become inoperable, or other troubles may occur. To
avoid this problem, we recommend that you install multiple centralized control units.

the equipment did not come on
automatically according to program timer
settings.
The Intelligent Controller cannot find a
single indoor unit. Or it cannot find all of
them.
A message of Application error!! is
displayed and the unit does not start.

Cause
Is the power cord connected?
Is the power switch set to on?
Is timer operation set to the target unit? Operation of a selected
timer does not start if the setting is not set the target unit.
Does the setting match the current date and time?If the
date and time do not match, operation can start at an
unexpected time. (See 6.3.2 Setting the date, cut-off date,
and distribution ratio calculation method)
Check the group settings and tenant settings.
Distribution rate calculations always result in 100% if there
is only one tenant registered in a distribution group, or if
there is only one indoor unit in a tenant.
The screen may be blank because of the power-saving auto
off function. The Intelligent Controller is still powered on.
Touch the screen to restore the display.
Regardless of the selected auto off time, the screen may be
turned off when the Intelligent Controller boots.
The message displays the unit where the alarm occurred,
and the alarm number. Inform your dealer or service
provider about the content of the message.
Data can be backed up only to the special PC Cards
(option) for the Intelligent Controller. Backup to other PC
Card types is not possible.
A certain amount of time may be required depending on the
state of communications with the connected air conditioners.
Please wait until all of the information is received.
In rare cases there may be a dot on the screen which is
always on or always off. This is not a malfunction. Due to
the nature of LCD displays, there may be some color
bleeding in certain areas because of variations in
temperature and so on.
This is normal and not a malfunction.
Over extended use, the touch positions and display
positions on the touch panel may get out of alignment.
( 6.8.9.7. Calibrating touch panels)

Wiring
Always shut off the power supply (breaker) before installing or uninstalling.

(1) Power supply connection

Connection terminals

Connect the power supply to the commercial power mains (100 to


240 V AC), using a dedicated circuit.
Connect the power supply lines to the L and N power supply
terminals (the power supply neutral to the N terminal).
Connect an earth ground line to the FG power supply terminal.
OFF

(2) Signal connection

ON

Connect indoor and outdoor signals using 0.5 - 2.0 mm2 twoconductor cable.
Overall length of each signal line should be 0.62 mile or less.
Do not run signal lines through the same conduit as power
supply lines, use the same cable as the power supply, or run
close to the power supply lines (maintain at least 12 inch
separation).
Do not run the LINK1 and LINK2 signal lines through the same
conduit, use the same cable for wiring, or run the signal lines
close together.

* When connecting link systems (indoor and outdoor unit control wires),
always connect beginning with LINK1 and LINK2 on the Intelligent
Controller. Up to 4 link systems can be connected.

88

Indoor/outdoor control wire (no polarity)


Connect signal terminals 0 and 1 (LINK1) to the Indoor/
outdoor control wire terminals of an indoor or outdoor
unit. If using two link systems for connection, connect
signal terminals 3 and 4 (LINK2) in the same manner.
Communication adaptor control lines (note + and polarity)
Up to seven external communication adaptors can be
connected to the control unit (see figure at left).
However, a maximum of four links is supported. Be sure
to follow the communications adaptor Installation
Instructions when connecting the adaptors. Make sure
that AC200V lines are not connected to the
communication adaptor terminals or Indoor/outdoor
control wire terminals.
* If the AC200V voltage is accidentally applied to the
Indoor/outdoor control wire terminals, a fuse will blow to
protect the controller board. If this happens, disconnect
the AC200V line, and connect the Indoor/outdoor control
wire to the spare U2 terminal. (The other signal line can
stay connected to the U1 terminal.) The spare U2
terminals are right next to the main U2 terminals.
Use terminal 2 (LINK1-U2) instead of terminal 1
Use terminal 5 (LINK2-U2) instead of terminal 4

(Output common)

Keep the input and output signal line lengths to under 65 ft. For distances greater than this,
install a standalone communication adaptor, or use a relay.
For use in areas that may be susceptible to electrical noise, use two-conductor shielded
cable (with one line grounded), with a cross-section of 0.5 mm2 or greater.
Do not apply external voltages to the input terminals.
The input terminals use a sensing current of about 10 mA at 5 V DC.
The output terminal allowable contact voltage and current are 30 V DC, 0.5 A.
